Hybrid ko3

So i found this, and basically you keep the hot/exhaust side of the k03 and then put this bigger compressor housing and compressor turbine in. From what i understand it has a 51mm compressor wheel, which i assume is quite bigger than a k03. i was told this would be about the size of a gt28 compressor housing. Im really considering doing this. What size is the k03 compressor wheel? What do you guys think of this....it does come with everything, and looks like a basic turbo rebuild kit.

you probably shouldnt.

Screw that. $300 for the parts to rebuild. At least another $150 to rebuild. For the R&R + money spent, it doesnt seem worthwhile. Its still going to be a fist sized turbo when your finished.

why not?

RE: Hybrid ko3
 

the compressor wheel and housing is significantly larger

and my buddy has rebuilt plenty of turbos and offered to do it for free

RE: Hybrid ko3
 

someone just posted that a couple days ago. If you want to do it, get a used turbo for cheap and rebuild that. So if it breaks, of doesnt perform, your not out more than $300

RE: Hybrid ko3
 

well thats what i planned on doing, i actually was going to find a crapped out k04 and use its exhaust/hot side...but obviously one that has its exhaust turbine

RE: Hybrid ko3
 

you just need a ko3 and that shouldnt be to hard to find

RE: Hybrid ko3
 

well wouldnt ko4 be a better choice for exhaust side? how much could i get a ko3 for?

travis you have a b5 if you want results from changing the turbo in some way just get a k04 its a little more that than ebay steal and is proven to be reliable.
